And the Uppity Shoeshine... (DM:twilsemail; Judge: renau1g)

Dekana · Jul 9, 2011

Toeto steps around Fredrock to get onto the wooden bridge - anything to get closer to the stranded Kaz, even if it means walking right up to the giant crocodile. Meanwhile, Sprout walks on the sewer water to get next to the croc and adds his own screech to Scarm's cacophony. It's enough of a distraction for the kenku to withdraw back to the bridge.

[sblock=Stat block/Actions]Actions
No action: Monster Knowledge check for the croc. I'll assume it's Nature. Result is Nature 31. (1d20+14=31) She'd better know everything about crocodiles, growing up in a swamp! She gets its name, type, temperament, keywords, powers, and resistances and vulnerabilities.

Move: Toeto walks to J5 and Sprout to J7 (floating on top of the water).

Standard: Voice of Battle vs Giant Croc probably misses Will 13, but it's 9 psychic damage if it hits. Hit or miss, Scarm can shift 2 squares as a free action. (1d20+9=13;1d6+7=9)

Minor: Perception 21. (1d20+12=21). At least I can hear it coming to kill me.

PC:Toeto (Dekana) - L4W Wiki - Female Lizardfolk Shaman 6

Conditions

Spirit's Shield, OA through Sprout: +9 vs Ref, 4 damage, effect: one ally within 5 squares of the SC gains 7 hp (10 if adjacent to the SC).
Call Spirit Companion, Imposter's Finemail, Protecting Strike, Voice of Battle

Notes
Any ally adjacent to Toeto's spirit companion regains +3 additional hit points when he or she uses second wind or when Toeto uses a healing power on him or her.
Boon: When Toeto summons Sprout, enemies adjacent to her take 1 radiant damage and allies adjacent to Sprout gain 1 THP.

[sblock=Spirit Companion notes]The spirit companion is treated as a conjuration with some exceptions.

It occupies 1 square like an ally does.
It is only affected by melee or ranged attacks (not close/area attacks or zones).
It is dispersed if it takes 13 or more damage from a single blow, and Toeto takes 8 damage. It is otherwise unaffected by attacks. It uses Toeto's defenses.
It cannot be flanked and it does not grant flanking.
The companion can move 5 squares whenever Toeto takes a move action. It is not affected by difficult terrain.

OOC:

Scarm will shift back to I5. Thanks Dekana.

OOC:

i've been busy with work...tonight is D&D night. will post on Sunday...but my basic plan is to double move over to Kaz (across the bridge, hoping to make the athletics check--I think I can just make it), Mark, then AP to attack the creature next to Kaz (assuming he is still there now..haven't pharsed the actions yet).

In 4th edition, attacking does not always break invisibility, tho the creature would not be hidden again until they made a stealth check (and with total concealment from invis, they could do with a move action)...

H.M.Gimlord · Jul 9, 2011

OOC:

That's why I wanted to know if the invisibility was a magical effect or a terrain effect.

The creature is at L19 now

OOC:

not the red cap

Yea, spreading damage, but maybe me and Kaz can take of the two over on the other side, while the rest take out the croc and company.

Couple of requests/suggestions: Terrain effects would be helpful in every DM turn update (had to go back to the start of combat to find the dc for crossing the pipe). and Monsters current location in the summary.

I'll go help Kaz...unless you need help with that big ol' croc there Eithal? Fredrock says as he moves over to the Red cap and takes a swing. Hey, there is something in the corner there..passed it on the way over here..watch out!

Eithal waves Fredrock on over to help Kaz. "Nevah mahnd li'l ole' me Freddie. Ah got theyis ovahgrown hayandbayag undah controwl!" She manages a smile despite being mawhandled by the large beast.

There's something in the corner near Scarm! Yishim blast the Croc further up the sewer, and near to the invisible creature. Once their bunched up, a strange illusion assaults the enemy's senses. Reflections of the wall and waters change places, distances are stretched. The croc finds itself unable to move and reeling from the distracting maze of mirrors.

OOC:

Tough to get a burst off in here! As a request to the DM, which need not be taken, it would be great to have a mid-round map update in high movement rounds like this.

[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Perception 22

Standard: Phantom Bolt Croc 22 vs. Will probably hits for 16 damage, and slide him to H9-I10
Rolls.

AP: Maze of Mirrors F7-H9. Hits Croc for 25 vs. Will, and maybe the creature in G7 for 21 (or 16 if -5) vs Will. I'll play my Heroic Action on the first roll that misses; let me know if I had to use it. Creatures hit are immobilized and take -5 to attack rolls until end of my next turn.

OOC:

Concealment doesn't apply to area attacks, so you should get the full 21 on the second roll.

H.M.Gimlord · Jul 11, 2011

Eithal struggles with surges and grunts to free herself from the vise-like grip of the subterranean reptile. As she does, she grabs hold of the creature lurking in the corner, "Hey, *hmpf* sweetie. Yew need tah stayand *hmpf* heyah whayah we cayan *hmpf* see yew *hmpf* bettah!", and pulls it out into the open.

OOC:

I know that not knowing enemy stats is a part of the suspense, but a downside to this is that it's hard to post fluff when you don't know if your actions hit or not. It's also difficult for other players to know if the Croc gets pulled or not. Luckily that part doesn't matter because Eithal went last, but in the future, it could get messy with retcons.

[sblock=Actions]Free: Mark Croc and Bad guy at M7

Move: Escape
Athletics: 1d20+14=20 vs. Croc's Fortitude
If that works, Eithal will shift to M8

Standard: Thorn Strike if Escaped, Strength of Stone if not
Target: Croc
Attack: 1d20+13=19 vs. AC for 1d12+7=15 damage
If Thorn Strike Hits (not likely): Pull to L8-K9
